The Cross

 The Cross

My first experience learning about healing was at a Be In Health Conference.  When the speaker announced that “God doesn’t want to kill you” I was surprised.  What surprised me more was the actual fact that I was surprised by what he said.  Because I was abused growing up, I realized I was always waiting for the next thing God would strike me with.  I felt bad that I thought that of God and I began trying to renew my mind.

Luke 9:55  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

Psalm 27:10.  When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.  

Most people do not understand that salvation is a package deal.  Healing is included in the deal.  I never knew that.  But as I read through ‘A More Excellent Way’ by Henry Wright I began to get the idea.  Many churches who claim to believe the whole Bible, avoid the gifts talked about in the Bible, and don’t teach on them.  

1 Peter 2:24   Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you WERE HEALED.

In November, 2023 I began bleeding after 6 months of no period.  I didn’t stop bleeding/spotting for over three months.  The Lord led me to various things that helped (He always meets us where we’re at!).  At one point, after starting a treatment with progesterone, I began hemorrhaging.  It was one of the most frightening things I’ve ever experienced.  It’s not like you can put a band aid on it.  How could I get this to stop?  After going to sleep I woke up at 2 a.m. and sat straight up in bed.  I saw Jesus on the cross and I saw my disease on Him.  I said out loud, “I’ve already been healed.”    This coupled with being tired of hearing myself begging God to heal me led me to start praying, “Thank you God for healing me.”

The next day I was scrolling through videos on Youtube, and there was a video “You Are Already Healed.”  When you are in perimenopause you tend to listen to women, and I wasn’t really inclined to watch this older man and listen to him.  But for some reason, the Spirit told me to watch it and I did.  What I learned was phenomenal.  Not only that, but at the end of the video, Andrew Wommack was praying for people and he said, “there is a woman with a bleeding problem.  You’ve been bleeding for a while and you’ve been healed in Jesus’ name.”  God transcends time, so although this video was months old, I believe that was for me.  The next day the bleeding slowed down and finally came to a stop a few days later.  

The most profound thing I’ve learned through the Word of God, Andrew’s books, and books and teachings by Carlie Terradez (who is affiliated with Andrew Wommack) is that God does NOT CHANGE and He is ALWAYS GOOD and LOVING.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.  Heb. 13:8

He is not in a good mood one minute, and a bad mood the next.  Jesus didn’t go around healing people in one town, and inflicting diseases on people in another.  He is ALWAYS good, and He ALWAYS wants to heal.  In fact, we were all already healed 2000 years ago.  The problem is us.  Anytime people weren’t healed in the Bible, it was because of their unbelief.  I knew instinctually before ever diving into these teachings there is something blocking my healing.  Luckily, God meets us where we are.  He is so gracious.  For the centurion whose faith was so strong he knew Jesus just had to say the word, and didn’t have to come lay hands on his servant to heal him.  But for others He met them where they were, and even went into their homes, and laid hands on them.

He will lead us to good things like DMSO to heal our backs, or bio identical progesterone to help balance our hormones.  Does He need those things to heal us?  NO.  But we might.  

So as we grow stronger in the faith that God gave us (we all have the same amount of faith, but just need to tap into it and BELIEVE) let’s at least start with blaming the right person for the diseases in our life.

John 10:10.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  

All good things come from God, not most good things, and some bad.  It’s actually insulting to believe that our good Father in Heaven, who gave His one and only Son for us would want to inflict harm on us.  God is all good, all the time and it is never His will that anyone be sick or suffering.  That is not from God.   And He is so good He gave us free will.  There are laws in place on earth, where things happen because of people, and the devil who does work through people.  While we don’t understand everything, one thing I’m learning is that God loves me, and He loves everyone.  I am not what the voices from the past say I am, I am what the Word of God says I am.  My Father in Heaven will never leave me or forsake me.  And it’s our choice as to whether or not we accept all the good gifts He has for us.
